My other oranda died not to long ago, and my new oranda is doing the same thing that my oranda nugget did before he died the next day. I’ve only had this new guy for about a month and he was doing fine yesterday and then I got up this morning and he was at the bottom of the tank not able to move properly. He’s still breathing, but it’s almost like he’s paralyzed... I need to check my water parameters but I did a water change on Friday and Saturday. On Saturday my parameters were perfect, no nitrite, no ammonia, and my nitrate was between 5-10ppm. My fantail isn’t affected by it, just like last time. Only the oranda. I tried feeding him peas and nothing. My fantail ate but I couldn’t get the oranda to eat. I really don’t want to lose this fish... does anybody have any clue on what’s happening???? Is it swim bladder? When he does swim he can’t swim right and is tilted to the side. My tank is 40 gallons and I have two aquaclear/ fluval 70filters and two sponge filters. Could he have hurt himself on something?



The first few photos are from a few days ago/ yesterday. And he last one is just a few minutes ago.
